There is, if you use it. In this case they were doing a visual approach , where you use eyesight in order to line up and land, because you have seen the runway. People do visual approaches in SFO as they are necessary to land 2 aircraft at the same time on the parallel runways ( they're like 30ft too close for parallel approaches on instrument ). It is still recommended to even in a visual approach, turn on the instrument approach systems ( for that exact reason ) but it looks like it is not mandatory for that airline.
